The Great Voyage: The Props Master on the Straw Hat Ship

And now--

A vengeful spirit is never too late!

“Ahhh!!”

After his signature thunderous roar, Bepo unleashed a flurry of powerful hand gestures on the game console, executing a series of up, down, down, left, right, left, right, B, A, B, A!!

"Hey, Peibo, it was you who did this, wasn't it?!"

Upon seeing Peppon pointing something at him, Pekin immediately roared in exasperation:

"Let me go right now!!"

boom! !

Another heavy hammer slammed down on his head.

Here, Pei Bo was settling a personal score, using Pekin as a target for his game.

Outside, Link also came out from inside the [Wallpaper House].

At this moment, the streets outside were filled with a tense atmosphere.

Large numbers of naval soldiers constantly moved through the streets.

Even at this critical juncture, a significant number of troops were still dispatched to the island to rescue the Celestial Dragons who had been kidnapped.

Link glanced around the alley briefly, then a flash of lightning appeared on the spot, and he disappeared.

When he reappeared, he was already on the Merry, near the coast of Area Thirteen.

"Awoo awoo~!!"

Ah Niu, who was chatting with Papa Gu, greeted his master as soon as he arrived.

"Something happened on this island..."

Link briefly explained the current situation of the island to Ah Niu 3.3, then told him the location of the [Wallpaper House] and told him to go there on his own, enter the [Canned Food Workshop], and train with Luffy and the others.

After all, they are all companions and disciples, so of course I wouldn't favor one over the other.

As for Papakku~

"Xiao Ba and Kemi are both at the 'Extortion Bar.' If you want to find them, just go by yourself."

"Also, tell Shakky that we've found Rayleigh, and he'll be with us for the next two weeks, so she doesn't need to worry... well, although she probably wouldn't worry anyway?"

It was told about the two mermaids after Ah Niu and Papagu disembarked.

Link then took out the [Aircraft-Type Universal Control Stick], piloted the Going Merry, and flew into the sky. He then sprayed [Solid Cloud Gas] onto a cloud, temporarily stopping the Going Merry.

They arrived there.

After thinking about it, Link felt it was a little too risky, so he took out another prop that looked like a can of Navas gas.

"Pfft?"

He sprayed the gas onto the Merry.

Prop: [Magic Smoke Screen].

Description: A smoke screen that makes the inside and outside of an object appear different.

[Thanks again to 'Call Me Monster' for another generous donation of 1000 coins! Thank you!!!]

290 That's the smell of money! The smell of scientific research!! The arrival of Kizaru!! Find a good major~

This is a hidden item. In "Nobita and the Cloud Kingdom," Doraemon used it to surround the Cloud Kingdom, making it appear from the outside as just ordinary clouds.

Thus, after Link used this tool, the cloud appeared no different from an ordinary cloud to outsiders.

"That solves the problem."

Then he took out the [Transformation Robot], gave him a bag of fried tofu, and told him to transform into Link's appearance to protect the Going Merry.

Link clapped his hands and nodded with satisfaction.

"Now that all the preparations are in place, we can help Nami and Franky find some relevant professional knowledge."

Link looked up at the clouds in the distant sky.

The lightning on his body surged once again.

Then he disappeared into the clouds.

On the island below, no matter how the Navy searched, they could not find any trace of the Straw Hat Pirates.

They seemed to have vanished into thin air.

Meanwhile, not far from the Sabaody Archipelago, several warships were slowly approaching this area.

Judging from the distinctive markings, everyone knew that the person who had arrived was Kizaru, one of the three admirals of the Marine Headquarters!

The admiral has finally arrived!

There are many sky islands in this world, including Angel Island, which Luffy and his crew arrived at, and Birka Island, Enel's hometown, which he destroyed.

The small, floating island of Visalia is a country that studies meteorology. The entire island is made up of mostly clouds and a small portion of land, and even the beds are made of clouds.

Unlike the Sky Island, this island is in a state of flight, and its direction and speed are entirely determined by the wind.

The reason this place is called Little Sky Island is because it is not a naturally formed island, but a small island created by some meteorological scientists using cloud-making technology on sky islands in order to better study meteorology.

The island's scientists are highly skilled in meteorological research and have created unique meteorological tools such as the "Wind Knot".

These scientists have dedicated themselves to meteorological research for years and are highly skilled in the field. Their expertise even amazes Nami.

However, sometimes, in order to earn some research expenses, they would travel by weather ship to places outside the island to use meteorological science to help people in need and earn some extra money.

In other words, they are short of money.

After all, which technology research activity isn't a money-burning endeavor?

In the original story, this group of meteorologists took Nami to the arid regions of the sea below to help alleviate the drought and raise funds for climate science research.

And coincidentally, the last thing Link has in abundance right now is money.

After using the "Finding Staff" to locate Hareda, the little old meteorologist in blue who rescued Nami in the original game, Link easily found the inconspicuous little sky island.

After briefly explaining his purpose, Link received a warm welcome from meteorologists including Harreda.

"So we only need to train an excellent navigator for a year, and that will be fine, right?"

Hareda, with a snow-white beard that reached his waist and split into two fishtail-like sections, was speaking to Link, dressed like other local scholars in a robe and pointed hat similar to those of Western wizards.

But his gaze was fixed on the green banknotes in the suitcases in Link's hand.

Ah, that's the smell of money! The smell of scientific research!!

"To be precise, it was less than a year, only 288 days."

Link placed the briefcase in his left hand on the ground and said with a smile, "Here is three hundred million Berries, as payment for your excellent meteorological knowledge."

"Then these are..."

Harreda and the others then focused their attention on the briefcase in Link's right hand.

"Here is two hundred million Berries. If any of you are willing to come with me down there to teach people, consider it as travel expenses for your long journey..."

"We do!!"

Before Link could finish speaking, the group of old men, who were so desperate for funds that their beards were practically burning with anger, answered in unison, their eyes bloodshot.

"...Then I'll leave it to you."

You're too kind!

Once again, everyone responded enthusiastically in unison.

Yes, money talks, and Link experienced that firsthand here.

Then, the scientists quickly moved the small floating island of Visalia to the skies above the Sabaody Archipelago.

Then, following Link's instructions, they went to the Wallpaper House to find Nami.

Moreover, these simple and straightforward scientists wanted to show that they were worthy of the money Link had spent.

He brought with him almost all the essential meteorological knowledge of the entire island of Visalia.

Well, I have to say, dealing with scientists is really comfortable.

Especially for scientists who are short of money.

After dealing with this group and ensuring Nami's professional skills were protected,

Link made another trip to the Island of the Future, which is Baltimore, the hometown of Dr. Vegapunk, the Navy's most outstanding scientist who currently serves the World Government and is said to be 500 years ahead of human technology.

Using the [Finding Staff] to locate Kidon, the child on the island who had helped Franky and was very interested in his bizarre dance, Link easily found the island on the Grand Line.

At the same time, they also found a much larger and more mechanized laboratory left behind by Vegapunk.

They not only emptied the laboratory of all its equipment and data, but also took all the high-quality materials stored on the island.

Then they returned to the Sabaody Archipelago and left all these things with Pepo and the others, who then gave them to Franky.

It's worth mentioning that Peibo and his friends had quite a good time.

It wasn't just that physical video game console; there were other games as well, such as the NES version of Space Invaders, a remote-controlled car simulator with a realistic driving experience, and Ring Fit Adventure, which involved running with a wireless VR motion-sensing device.

They had a blast.

Peibo, Peijin, and Xiaqi all had bruises and swelling on their faces, as if they had fought each other.

Lin Ke pretended not to see this.

So, once everything the partners need is basically taken care of...

"So, next, it's time to officially begin making some preparations for this upcoming war..."

Link held in his hand an old, yellowed wanted poster that clearly had been around for many years.

The wanted poster featured a man with long, golden hair that reached the ground, like a lion's mane—both imposing and majestic!

"But before that

He carefully put away the arrest warrant, thinking, "I still need to deal with some unnecessary troubles first."

Link gazed at a street in the distant Sabaody Archipelago.

From that direction, golden light shone brightly!

Whoosh!

A dazzling laser beam shot from his fingertip, blasting a group of human traffickers and pirates from the outlaw zone flying backward.

"Oh my, you hit the target again!"

Wearing sunglasses, Kizaru pointed to his outstretched finger, then turned his head to look at the tall, grotesque monk beside him who was panting heavily.

"Could you please tell me about the Straw Hat Pirates?"

"This old monk...this old monk has never seen them at all."

[The Strange Monk] Urouge is holding a huge pencil pillar in one hand, and even though blood is flowing down his head, he still maintains a very optimistic smile.

Unfortunately, when Kizaru landed on the island while stepping on a cannonball fired from the warship, he just happened to land on this side of the island, making him the first one to face the Marine Admiral.

"is it?"

Before Kizaru could ask any more questions, Urouge hurled the pencil stick at him.

Its body also suddenly swelled up to enormous size.

"Cause and effect...retribution!!"

The enormous body, seemingly amplified in power, swung its fist, larger than a sandbag, accompanied by a gale, towards Kizaru.

唧！

Without a doubt, Urouge, who didn't understand Haki, stabbed his fist straight into Kizaru's golden chest.

"Is it possible to convert the damage received into size and strength?"

Kizaru's gaze shifted slightly downwards. "And it seems that the greater the damage to the body, the greater the increase in size and strength?"

"It's like a monster's ability, how terrifying!"

He pouted and lazily offered his comments.
